Classes!
To use the catalog to best advan
tage we encourage you to attend
an introductory class with Judith
Hortin, Head of Reference at any
of the following times:
Thursday, December I, 7 p.m.
Saturday, December 10,11 a.m.
Wednesday, December 14,10 a.m.
My first Boy Scout Handbook had a pic

Dynix At
Your Service!
Our “mascot” butler welcomes you
to the new Dynix computer sys
tem. We officially went online with
our new system on November 1
and patron reactions are positive!
The colorful new screens replace
our “old” GEAC computer catalog
and circulation system which
served us well for almost 10 years.
(We eliminated our card catalog 6
years ago.)
The faster, more powerful sys
tem continues to be in a consor
tium with Skokie, Morton Grove
and Waukegan Libraries. The
Dynix system is very “user
friendly” and flexible, with
- wider access promised
in the future. This
should include
access to numer
ous periodical indexes, community
resource File, gateways to remote
databases and access to Internet.
We anticipate a smooth adjust
ment and appreciate your patience
in accepting and becoming com
fortable with the new system.
What a man Teddy Ballgame was—a real
hero to all of us kids. The last .400 hitter. In
modern life, all of our shared experiences
come from the media. I didn't know Ted
Williams, I just thought I did. That basic con
tradiction gives dimension to our difficulty in
separating fact from fiction. We have all just

watched Ken Burns’ nine-installment baseball
TV series tell us that baseball is the perfect
metaphor for American life. That the game
reflects us for good or ill, and that baseball
could only be an American game. A charm
ing TV series but a flawed theory.
Reflecting on the 1994 baseball strike that
ruined the best season in- years—the only one
in ninety with no World Series—I could be
inclined to agree with Burns, only in reverse.
Baseball as a perfect metaphor for American
life: grasping, greedy, selfish men lacking in any
semblance of culture, with no knowledge of his
tory. Those who grab mopey without regard for
others, the eventual outcome of a project, or
even how it looks to the outside world. That

these base instincts are the fibre and
substance of American life is something I
do not believe. Americans at our worst,
not our best, ruined the season of 1994.
After twenty-one years of providing
library service to Deerfield residents in a
real- life not a fictional setting, I have
found Deerfield residents to be none of
the above. In contrast, I have seen that
their hearts and minds are in the right
place. 12,700 cardholders in a village of
17,000 tells me this is a community of
readers, intellectually alert, aware of poli
tics, socially concerned, involved with our
kids, and philosophical in outlook. Social
projects, caring about others, and a long
view of history characterizes the people I
know in this town. Is Deerfield a micro
cosm of the rest of the country? I think
so. Is that a metaphor that would ruin the
baseball season of 1994? I think not.
But it has also been my experience
that events in our lives, large and small,
are often shaped by what is worst, not
what is best, for us. Mean- spiritedness
and disparity often come to the fore and
win out in decision making. Wronghead
edness often shouts down reason and
important decisions can be based on
caprice and whim, and only our hindsight
is perfect. Maybe the men who ruined the
1994 season did mean well but by a mis
guided attempt achieved something
nobody wanted. That everyone could sit

of. A group of anti-intellecutal, small-mind
ed nobodies with a lot of money wrecked
the season and we all yawned. It is said
that humor is the only trait that separates
man from the rest of the animal kingdom
and that it protects us from catastrophe.
Sometimes it’s hard to laugh.
The book I am recommending this
month is The Lawyer’s Chambers by
Lowell Komie. This collection of short sto
ries is Lowell's third book and I recom
mend it highly. If you haven't read Lowell
Komie you are missing one of the best of
today's writers. Mr. Komie is not just a
good writer, or a talented one, Lowell is a
great writer whose stories touch at the
heart of all of us. Lowell writes in a very
difficult genre to master—the short story;
when he succeeds, which is often, he
rewards us all with his art.

Hicks Stresses
Community Service
Jack Hicks, formerly Head of the
Reference Department, Deerfield Public
Library, was appointed administrative
librarian effective August 1.
He succeeds Suzanne Whetstone who
served as administrative librarian for the
past twenty years. Mrs. Whetstone has
moved to South Bend, Indiana.
Hicks, who is well known and respected
in the Deerfield community, has a strong
commitment to public service and plans to
maintain the library’s fine tradition in the
community. He hopes to improve the
quality of service by adding more
materials, providing access to those
materials, and making best use of
technological advancements available to
libraries. He also wants to emphasize staff
training and “the human touch’’ in delivery
of service and materials.
Always enjoying his contact with the
public at the Reference Desk, Hicks has
pioneered in offering patrons and teaching
(other North Suburban Librarians) online
information retrieval service. Deerfield
was among the first libraries in the nation
to offer searches to patrons at no charge. He
says that the key to online searching is
using it as a standard service, as any other
reference tool.
Jack Hicks
Jack Hicks has lived in Deerfield for 16
years and has been Head of Reference since
1976. He is active in the American Library
Association, Illinois Library Association,
and Midwest Federated Library Associa
tion. He made presentations to the latter two
this spring, about Deerfield Library’s
bibliographic instruction to Wilmot Junior
High students. A paper on this topic has
been prepared by Hicks and teacher
Geraldine Spinella for the November issue
of “Illinois Libraries.’’
Hicks received his B.A. degree from
Hamline University, St. Paul, Minn, and
his Masters degree in Library Science from
Rosary College. He has also served as
Church Librarian at Deerfield’s St.
Gregory’s Church. His wife Donna is Head
of Reader Services at Northbrook Public
Library and they have two daughters,
Maren and Sarah.
New Library Brochure

Deerfield Library has published a new
brochure of library services, in the theme
format of “Wish You Were Here.’’ It in“‘201 eludes library hours, loan regulations,
highlights of the many available items in the

vices. The brochure is intended to be a brief
review to introduce the many facets of the

* % Virgins, Whores and Other Women: Im
ages of Women in Mystery
Paretsky has created a new genre of
female detective stories about a hard
boiled private eye, V.l. Warshawski.
Warshawski comes straight out of the
Dashell Hammett-Raymond Chandler
tradition; a loner with a soft spot for the
underdog, a fierce belief injustice if not the
law, enough stubborn courage to ignore
threats from the mob, and an uneasy
relationship with the local constabulary
according to reviewer Joanna Krotz. This
fictional detective lives in Chicago near
Halsted.
In the past 16 years, Paretsky has had five
books and five short stories published. She
has also won several awards. The books in
clude Bitter Medicine, Killing Orders,
Deadlock and Indemnity Only. Her newest
mystei7, Blood Shot, due out this fall is
a main selection of the Mystery Guild
and alternate selection of three other
book clubs. It has already received high
acclaim.
This popular author of suspense holds a
BA from the University of Kansas and a
PhD in history from the University of
Chicago. Blood Shot will be reviewed at a
library program by Virginia Carter at 11
a.m. Oct. 19. Reservations will be required
for the afternoon Paretsky event.
